Remember my forgotten man, you put a rifle in his hand
You sent him far away, you shouted hip hooray
But look at him today
Remember my forgotten man, you had him cultivate the land
He walked behind a plow, the sweat fell from his brow
But look at him right now
And once he used to love me, I was happy then
He used to take care of me. Won't you bring him back again?
Cause' ever since this world began, a woman's got to have a man
Forgetting him, you see, means you're forgetting me like my forgotten man
